'The Presidency, His Majesty, The Founding Father.’
Bó bá se wù mí ni mà á ṣe ǹkan mi. Èmi ló nií!
I will do whatever I like with what I own. It’s mine!
That should not apply to instances where those actions negatively affect others.
It’s like, I have my mouth, it's mine, and I can say whatever I like
Then you start screaming in the gathering of humans,
People will know that you are definitely insane.
It’s like, I have my pee pee thing, it's mine, and I can do whatever I like with it
Then you start waving it at people,
You will be taken out and given the help you so much need.
The presidency, the founder also likes to repeat
Bó bá se wù mí ni mà á ṣe ǹkan mi. Nkan mi ni
I will do whatever I want with my property. It's mine.
It’s yours indeed but when ownership of that thing affects lives,
‘I will do whatever I like with my property’ should not apply.
This is my house! This school is mine! The church is mine! The country is mine!
I can and will do whatever I like with my property.
I am the head of this house and my words are the law here.
The school is mine and I need the teachers' salaries now. They will get paid later.
The church is mine and I can impose my will on my flock.
This country is mine and I can sell out my people. It's no big deal, others do the same.
